FG Pledges Enabling Environment for Industrial Growth

Federal Government has reaffirmed its determination to continue to provide industries in the country with more secured environment towards development of the economy.

President Muhammadu Buhari gave the assurance at the inauguration of a company in Abeokuta.

Represented by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Mr Boss Mustapha, President Buhari said his administration would continue to provide physical infrastructure for existing investments to thrive and make part of the country attractive for new investors.

He noted that the multiplier effect of the company on the nation’s economy and the host state would be enormous, especially in the sub sector of the nation’s economy.

The President also used the occasion to restate the present administration’s drive to fight against corruption, security of lives and property and diversification of the nation’s economy.

He stressed the need for captains of industries to take advantage of the policies of ease of doing business of the government to invest in Nigeria.

In a remark, Governor Ibikunle Amosun said Ogun State had attracted more businesses due to its strategic location which had given access to the international community and the security plan put in place by the government.

While calling on other companies operating in the state to continue to pay their taxes to support the present government in the state, Governor Amosun pledged his administration commitment to continue to create enabling environment for them to thrive.

In an interview, a member representing Yewa South/Ipokia at the Federal House of Representatives, Mr Abdulkabir Akinlade, said aside the employment opportunities that company would create, it would also boost the state’s internally generated revenue.

Mr Akinlade commended the President for creating and ensuring a very peaceful and business wise nation that could attract international investors.
